Venture Global Plaquemines LNG Fabrication Assembly & Site Installation

Performance Contractors was selected as a module fabrication and site assembly contractor by Venture Global for their Plaquemines LNG facility. The scope of work included onsite fabrication of 14 process modules weighing up to 3,500 tons and 52 pipe racks weighing up to 400 tons each. This scope included all aspects of construction including pipe fabrication, steel erection, equipment setting, paint, fireproofing, insulation, E&I, transportation, and module loadout to the final destination in Plaquemines.

To date, this is the largest project undertaken by Performance Contractors in our 45-year history. This revolutionary project spanned across 4 job sites, a 35 month duration with a coordinated company-wide effort where manpower reached 8,000 employees.

Venture Global LNG strategically designed overall project schedule improvement by allowing a significant portion of the project to be modularized onsite. Performance worked closely with Venture Global to ensure timely delivery of all 66 modules to support the site's critical path schedule. Performance became a trusted lead contractor demonstrating collaboration, adaptability and partnership to meet dynamic project needs. The combination of modular construction, an aggressive delivery schedule, and close coordination with onsite system completions resulted in significant savings to the overall project duration.
